I've got a Samsung USB DVD writer that I've had for over 15 years. It's always worked well (with linux) for reading and writing CDs and DVDs. That model isn't available now and I don' know what the newer ones are like.
If you can't find anything, PM me and I'll lend you mine until dwcon.

A week after irish dwcon and i just realised I've been thwarted after a two-decade successful campaign.
A mate's been trying to snap a pic of me where I'm not looking sceptical with eyebrow raised for years. He's even tried from a balcony 3 floors up, mid convo.
Last monday got me mid-laugh. DAMMIT.

next year's dwcon theme is Maskerade. Given yours truly will be stage manager and a chunk of the conina costume is my pouchbelt and other pouches and concealed pockets that I can produce random useful things out of, I think the only thing I'll need to add is a clipboard and electrical tape.
